Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 90 Vacation Advice

To be honest, since Lastina came to Moher's mansion, everyone in this mansion is not as casual as before.

After all, no matter what, Lastina is an outsider.

She did not recognize Duo Luo at the time, nor did she know the true identities of the other people in the mansion.

Logically, she should have known Lisiduowei, but according to Lisiduowei, the relationship between the Gold Seeking Chamber of Commerce and the Scarlet Queen was very distant, with almost no business connection. And during that period, most people only knew the Scarlet Queen, not Lisiduowei.

Furthermore, Lisiduowei's betrayal of the demon clan had little to do with merchants. Normally, low- and mid-level merchants wouldn't be able to know the details.

If Lastina had indeed married a count from a noble family, she would most likely know about Lisiduowei. She had only seen A. Godola when she was a child. It was not surprising that she did not recognize him.

But no one in the mansion cared much about this issue.

After all, the purpose was to hide one's identity. Logically, this was better, as having an "outsider" around at all times made it easier for everyone to conceal their identities. It was a tool specifically used to remind everyone, to remind Mohe that she was Mohe, not Mordor, and to remind Doro that he was Doro, not A. Godora.

In fact, some of the impact has already begun.

The most intuitive manifestation is the rise in food prices.

"See what I'm saying? Food prices have gone up, and actually, alcohol prices will go up as well during this period." Mohel sighed, holding the mansion's account book. "Logically, selling it at this time would bring in more profit. However—our alcohol is just ordinary in the eyes of others, but selling it during this special period would be a bit eye-catching."

Moher discussed this with everyone. "Although we have some confidence in this small mansion, it's best not to attract too much attention at a time like this. If someone were to target us, regardless of whether we would be defeated, being exposed to the world wouldn't be a good thing. We're not big enough to be exposed to the world. Until you're strong enough, 'secrecy' is your greatest protection."

Lastina looked at Moher in surprise. "Ms. Moher, you are much calmer than I thought. Many times, people make money but are unaware of it. They tell everyone about their earnings after making a small amount of money. This behavior often leads to the rapid loss of funds. Few people can keep their secrets."

Moher said shyly, "Miss Lastina, I accept your compliment with a clear conscience. Let me tell you what's going to happen next. Although I don't know exactly what will happen, it's bound to be something big. The grain production in the vicinity hasn't decreased, but the price increase is directly reflected in the price list. In recent days, the price of grain has increased by nearly one-tenth, and it will increase even more in the future. This is terrifying."

Food is different from other things. Once the price goes up, the consequences will be very terrible.

The price increase at this time is not large, and some people may think it is a normal fluctuation.

"This situation suggests that the nobles and merchants have sensed something is amiss and have begun stockpiling food to prepare for the impending chaos."

Of course, neither Lisiduowei nor Rose were particularly familiar with the situation. They could only listen. Although they were responsible for purchasing and reported price changes, they didn't have such keen perception. In this world, a keen sense of numbers is a very important talent.

"You mean, we should start stockpiling food too?" Duo Luo's face looked unhappy.

Mohe originally wanted to say, "We don't need to stockpile." After all, if the nobles and merchants were stockpiling, then they would have it too. They could just go and get it when the time came; it wouldn't be too difficult. But considering Duo Luo's feelings... she changed her tone slightly: "Don't worry too much. Although unrest may be coming, you should have more confidence in the great and wise king."

She suddenly mentioned the Wise King. "Although his Majesty's behavior has been criticized in some ways, his loyalty to humanity and his deep love for the people of the Central Empire are truly remarkable. This is why he is loved and given the title of Wise King. He knows how to handle situations like this. Even if something uncontrollable happens, everyone should at least be able to survive. So, we only need to stockpile a little, not too much."

Dora glanced at Moh.

The girl saw through his thoughts immediately. This kind of thing had been happening more and more frequently recently… He could understand it. As her interactions with Mo He increased, it was only natural that she would understand him more and more. Even among ordinary people, as time went by, a clearer outline would gradually emerge.

and……

Dora wasn't sure if his thoughts were influenced by Moh to some extent, but it was probably true.

It's just that even if he examines himself, he can't detect that kind of influence, the kind of influence that makes him think that whatever he thinks is "correct".

He had just thought about what the people of Baixi Town would do if unrest really broke out and food prices became high and hard to come by. Could they stockpile some food so they could at least provide relief when the time came? For beings like them, food was easy to come by, but for ordinary people, it was difficult. But Mohe's words made sense.

Under the rule of the Wise King, the Central Empire of Humanity thrived. Even in the most marginalized areas, people were proud of the Central Empire's glory, proudly puffing out their chests and proclaiming, "I am a noble human." And the Wise King certainly wouldn't let such things go unnoticed. If nothing else, he was truly responsible for humanity. At least in recent years, there had been virtually no reports of anyone starving to death...

Of course, I’m not saying that there is absolutely no darkness—but it’s also true that the territory of the Human Central Empire is now like a paradise for many species.

If the wise king had continued to do this for a few decades until he abdicated, he would probably have left an unprecedented reputation in history. The fact that he had defeated the Demon King alone would have been an eternal monument.

However, the wise king's ambition does not stop there.

So unrest will come.

"Let's all behave ourselves for the time being. Winter is coming, and it shouldn't be a problem for us to get through it peacefully."

Miss Moher is really just an ordinary person with a little money, looking forward to "stability".

Of course everyone knows this is just a dream.

Even Lastina thought so. After all, these people looked ordinary—but if you think about it carefully, you can tell at a glance that she's the eldest daughter of the Gold Seeking Chamber of Commerce, and yet she dared to bring her along. And her father still hasn't come looking for her... Could it be that the crystal ball really predicted something? So the engagement was deliberately arranged by her father, just to force her to escape, and he had planned her escape route?
So from this perspective, does the crystal ball predict the future or manipulate the future?

This clearly means that Dad saw part of the future and forced things to proceed according to the crystal ball. Does this make sense?
And I heard that the crystal ball can only predict major events.

In other words, coming to this mansion is a big deal?

For whom?

She didn't know, but she didn't expect to live a truly stable life. She always felt that something was going to happen.

For some things, as long as you calm down and put aside your emotions to think, you can get a good answer. She couldn't help but think of the deal between Duo Luo and herself - he said he would help her and make her a businessman who is no less inferior to the Xunjin Chamber of Commerce itself, rather than the eldest lady of the Xunjin Chamber of Commerce, who can't even control her own destiny.

But it seems that he has not taken any action at the moment?
In this mansion, the girl named Mohe is the absolute master... Does Mohe have any hidden identity?
"Let me think about it, how about we go somewhere warmer for vacation?"

Moher suddenly suggested this: "I heard there's a city called Butuo, a volcanic city. It seems to be very warm there all year round. Even in winter, there's no snow. There are also living volcanoes to see. It must be quite interesting."

Of course, everyone is familiar with Butuo City. It is not too far from Baixi Town. If you hire a normal horse carriage, it will take about half a month to travel there.

In Lastina's opinion, this was a reasonable suggestion. Although she had heard that there had been some problems in Butuo City, it had been several months. She also heard that Butuo City was indeed very warm. Lastina, who had recently taken over Mohe's business, knew that with Mohe's financial resources, it would not be difficult to take everyone to Butuo City to spend a warm winter.

But...is she going to spend all the money she earned this year on pleasure?
Besides, growing grapes and making wine doesn't mean you have nothing to do in the winter. The fields need maintenance—and so do the vines. I was just praising you for your patience, and now you're letting yourself go? That's not the right attitude to make money...

But subtly, she found that everyone present seemed to be silent.

It seemed like they were all thinking about their own things and were not very opposed to going to Bhutto City itself. They just seemed to be thinking about the meaning of going to Bhutto City.

No, what happened?
Does that city hold any special significance for this group of people? Is there something they feel compelled to accomplish?

"Everyone, get ready. We're leaving in a few days. Remember to pack your things so you don't forget. Some things are hard to buy on site."

Without waiting for Lastina to give her opinion, Moh had already made the decision.
